Answer: x = 7/6 and y = 2.33.

7 = 6x. To solve for x, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 6:

7/6 = 6x/6

This simplifies to:

7/6 = x

Next, let's move on to the second equation:

4x + y = 7

To solve for y, we'll isolate y on one side of the equation by subtracting 4x from both sides:

4x + y - 4x = 7 - 4x

y = 7 - 4x

Now that we have expressions for x and y, we can substitute the value of x into the expression for y:

y = 7 - 4x

y = 7 - 4 (7/6)

y = 7 - 4 (7/6)

y = 7 - 28/6

y = 7 - 4 (7/6)

y = 7 - 4 (7/6)

y = 7 - 28/6

y = 7 - 4 (7/6)

y = 7 - 4.67

y = 2.33

So, the solution to this system of equations is x = 7/6 and y = 2.33.
